Chapter 2: Zetsu
In the dark hours of the night, the Akatsuki hideout was silent, and light snores could be heard as the moon's light shone through the only window they had, stretching it's beam into the trash-filled living room, occupied just hours before.
It was a Friday night, and the five members of the infamous criminal organization known as the Akatsuki had just gone to bed after an eventful night of movie watching. However, there was one Shinobi that wasn't fast asleep in dreamland. Instead the right word would be…
"Scared! Tobi is scared!" Tobi whispered to himself as the shivered under his covers.
The film that the Akatsuki had watched last night was one entitled, "Invasion of the Body Snatchers." Why it was chosen out of all of the movies in their collection was never really discovered, except for the fact that no one could all agree on a film to watch, eventually deciding to watch something they could all at least make fun of, and settled on an old Sci Fi film. Tobi, of course was terrified at the idea.
"But nobody listened to Tobi…." Tobi muttered to himself. "Now what will Tobi do? Tobi is too scared to go to bed! Tobi needs some company! But no one will let Tobi sleep with them…..."
…...
...
The night was going fairly well for the plant-man. He had a plentiful meal the night before and got inspired after watching a particularly insightful film right before he went to bed as it lulled him to sleep, bringing forth good dreams and calmness of mind…
In fact.
He was currently having one of those dreams right now...
Zetsu was lying on a green pasture as the wind blew graciously across the soft grass…
It was spring.
And all was well.
Up until then, the plant-man thought it couldn't get any better. That is, until he noticed a group of Shinobi headed his way.
"Ahhh, just what I need…." Zetsu licked his lips.
As the group came closer… and closer…, Zetsu waited patiently for his prey to come into his space…
Just a little more...
A little more...
A little-
"Master Zetsu!"
"Damn it! Who's giving me away?"
"Master Zetsu, wake up! It's Tobi!"
"Tobi? What is that idiot doing in my dream?!"
"Master Zetsu, please wake up."
"What is going on?" Zetsu asked, confused.
Suddenly the plant man's world began to fade away. And with it, his prey.
"No! No! No!" Zetsu shouted.
Abruptly he woke up. His eyes now wide awake.
"Oh good! Master Zetsu is awake! Tobi was worried!"
…..
"Um…Master Zetsu?"
…
"Are you…okay?"
"Tobi….." Dark Zetsu growled.
"Y…yes?"
"I'm going to give you to the count of ten to get out of my sight before I eat you."
"Ahh! But Master Zetsu! You told Tobi you would never-"
"Times change Tobi…." White Zetsu replied rather irritably.
"One…"
"Two…"
"Three..."
"Um! Um! Tobi just wants to know if he can, um"-
"Four…"
"Five..."
"Six..."
"Tobi just wants to know if he can-"
"Seven..."
"Eight…"
"Nine…"
"Ahhh! Master Zetsu, wait! Tobi just-"
"TEN!"
